A Boeing Delta II rocket today successfully placed the 30th Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite into orbit aboard a Delta rocket. Every GPS satellite launched to date has been carried into its nearly 10,900 mile elliptical transfer orbit by Delta rockets (excluding the Block I satellites used during the research and development phase of the GPS program).
